The Dutch ambassador in Georgia says a Dutch TV correspondent was killed when Russians bombed the Georgian city of Gori overnight.

Ambassador Onno Van Elderenbosch says he is not able to release the name of the journalist, who worked for RTL-2 television.

One of the man's colleagues was wounded. Gori was bombed overnight by Russian forces who have occupied the nearby Georgian separatist region of South Ossetia.

The bombing hit a media center that had been set up on the top floor of the town's television and radio center.

Since the breakup of the Soviet Union, Russia's world and regional influence had been continually diminishing much to the alarm of many of their political and military leaders.

Within this context, the Russians were pissed at NATO's growing presence in the world in general and in what they considered the Russian sphere of influence in particular.

So...when an opportunity presented itself, the Russians reasserted their presence forcefully in a tiny conflict that they couldn't lose.
